Tour Doorways Freddie Mac Foundation Family Home
“I laugh about it now, but when I was coming to the Home for the first time, I drove by it 3 times. I couldn’t believe that I had the right address and that such a beautiful place could be a shelter.” ~Family Home Resident
Upon arriving at Doorways’ Freddie Mac Foundation Family Home, families are shown to their bedroom, given a tour of their new home and made to feel comfortable. After a family is settled, staff will start the intake process, which allows the staff to learn more about the family and their specific situation.
Similar to Doorways’ Safehouse, the Family Home is not “just a place to stay,” but rather a doorway to a better life. Throughout the families’ stay Doorways’ staff offer counseling, financial education, support groups, services for children, job advocacy, help with finding permanent housing, and weekly visits by a public health nurse. Our homes seek to improve a family’s life for the long-term, not just provide temporary shelter.
